I have recently been diagnosed with LS and been given Clobestol to use for it. Everything down there is changing so quickly so worrying. I have not had any tests or sent to a gynecologist for any consultations was just given the cream to put there and told to come back for a check up in 6 months time.

I also seem to have problems around the anus causing fissures after straining. Is it ok if I put the Clob directly onto this area to help with the itching around there? New to all of this trying to get my head around it all

Thanks to any replies I get back .

    Same exact situation here. I did use the Clobestol today in the anus area as I am having the fissures there too. I also use Desitin baby diaper cream. My doctor said the Desitin was a good barrier cream for the anus area. I do not know if you're supposed to use the Clobestol in the anus area, but did today figuring it couldn't make anything worse, only better. I am concerned with the anatomy down there changing pretty rapidly as well?
